The Story: The S.S. Central America also know as the “Ship of Gold” sank off the Carolina coast in 1857, at the height of the California Gold Rush, when it sailed into a hurricane. It had departed, days earlier, from Panama, with roughly 580 passengers who were carrying with them an unknown amount of gold. Estimates for the total gold cargo range between three and 21 tons of gold. Millions of dollars in today’s value.

In 2014, a second salvage of the SS Central America site was conducted and the fruits of that work have yielded more than $40 million in new treasure. The Ship of Gold is undoubtedly one of the biggest stories in numismatics for the year 2018. It’s estimated that 3,100 gold coins, 45 gold bars, and thousands of mint state silver coins from a private safe within the SS Central America were recovered this time.
Capstone Acquisitions has the honor of being one of the few rare coin companies in America that was selected to distribute the gold and silver coins from the SS Central America 2nd recovery. Through our network of connections and close relationships. We have secured many of the hard to get gold Type I Double Eagle $20’s, and the rare small denomination gold coins from the “Ship of Gold.” Please don’t hesitate to call or email with any questions, these only available for a limited time. 512-692-0744.
